PLEASE BE SAFE. Avoid mines, tunnels and caves without proper safety gear and experience.
Always inform a 3rd party of your location.

That has got to be one of the the coolest most perfect surviving example of a Pennsylvania coal mine that still exists. Outstanding video quality ! Thanks for another superb explore man, stay safe brother
This one blows my mind how clean and intact it still is! This really is a thing of beauty.
My thoughts exactly...
Looks like there's still coal. 1 of my grandfather's retired from mining coal. And had black lung.
I'm watching this is Boston, where I've lived since 1970, while serving in the US Navy. My roots are Coal miners from Schuylkill and Carbon counties. Lansford, Coaldale, and Summit Hill. Both parents born there, both grandfathers coal miners in Lansford and Coaldale. Spent a lot of my youth up there and saw the slow evaporation and tear-down of the mines, breakers, and railroad roundhouses through the 50s and 60s. My paternal grandfather died from silicosis at age 55 in the Hamburg Sanatorium.
The reason I bring all this up is to let you know how much I appreciate your investigative filming of the anthracite coal regions mining history. This latest is probably your best effort yet in bringing full color and high definition to what it was like for these guys to get up every morning and head down into the mines. I really appreciate your efforts and you should be teaching mine history to the kids in school. You're right, without those guys, none of us would be here today. Truly amazing. Thanks ever so much.
I really appreciate that. It's so difficult recording underground in the dark, with humidity, and constant obstacles. But this mine has a certain charm about it that I really hoped to capture.
@@AmazingPennsylvania you most certainly captured it! Semper Fi!!
It has always upset me how Pennsylvania gets no mention in American history books for the vital role our past industry played in the building of the USA and many of the major cities around the world. I am glad for people who are able bodied People who still go out and document this stuff before nature reclaims it and its gone forever.
Bro what are you talking about? Andrew Carnegie and US Steel are in every history book
Looks really good man.
Black orange nice and colorful.The pitch down there is awesome.Solid mine!
Looks as good as the day they pulled the rail up.
Another great video, man. Like you said, they really don't teach you about coal mining here in nepa, and with your videos alone got me into learning as much as I can about coal mining in our area. Thank you for sparking my interest and teaching me about the history of the coal industry. Can't wait for the next one.
You a Brave brotha... wow impressive 👏🏽 👌🏾 and the HD is Very Very Clear..
Great video my knees and back hurt seeing the thickness of the coal seam but I miss working in the mines it's something gets into your veins I worked other job's for short periods but always came back to the coal mines proud to have been a North Eastern Pennsylvania coalminer we kept your lights burning 🔥 anthracite miner from Schuylkill County
That's what I hear... you're a miner for life. It becomes a part of you and I'm sure you miss being underground
Video looks awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Great stuff as always, brother. I feel like I need to experience this one in person. It's in too good of shape.
The reason that areas are bricked off, is to control ventilation. They didn't want to feed fresh air into areas that weren't being worked. They wanted keep it in the working areas.
WOW Thats Freaky AF ...thx for showing me this LL77,, i love it Scary a Bit but intence i likethese kind of videos...WOOOOHOOOO cant wait to watch them all..🙂💯%✌👌🤙❤
Very cool! I really love the videos of the coal mines. Especially the couple that you show the mine carts still in tact. That has to be neat to actually see that in person. Unbelievable what is under the surface. Great video!!
I researched that there are an estimated 11.500 abandoned coal mines in Pennsylvania.
I'm really glad I found your channel. This is awesome 💯
Thanks For sharing this, id be Way to freaked to do cave crawling...but very fun to watch...im gonna give you a Shout-out and Share your video Amazing Pennsylvania 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙂🤟🏽🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🤟🏽🎶🙂
Thank you so much!
@@AmazingPennsylvania your Very Welcome im doing the Shout-out vid shortly Amazing Pennsylvania 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽
✊🏽💞🔥🦅🔥🦅🔥🦅 Have a Great Day & Keep em coming. 🤝🏼✌🏽
Thank you for caring about our beautiful caves.
I recently came across footage of a collapse in a coal mine in west Virginia,absolutely terrifying to hear it coming and the speed in which the back(ceiling or roof)of the mine fell evenly like a rock blanket,timbers exploding,brave men😮
Nice mine!!! If i were with you id climb down a level to see if equipment is still there! Great video and channel!! Glad to see you are better!
The interesting thing is that it does connect with another mine. There's a portal for that mine a half mile away. But crawling through the working to get there would be quite the satisfying adventure
Just watched this again...I think I was just in that same mine ! I didn't go in far(1/2 hr then turned back, only had spotter on surface)...didn't see any brick or go down as far as split. But I am planning on returning with someone to go in with me. If this is the same mine, the map I found is literally a maze!!
@@coalcrackerchris Do you know how to find me on Facebook? I have a feeling it's a different mine but I'll fill you in on everything
It looks good in the higher quality man.
First time viewer,now subscriber,love the content and awesome educational aspects
Another Great job on the video. Love watching to see where you will end up
Like your guess that the supports were more early warning system than actual supports.
Always wondered if miners were so delusional that they thought that little piece of timber would hold up a whole mountain. But your conjecture that the sound of them starting to compress would tell the men to get makes a lot more sense.
Of course, could they hear it over the noise of the mine?
Keep adventuring, my friend.
In low clearance areas where the miners crawled through, I noticed the timbers seem to hold up well. But actual manways where the ceiling is 6-8 feet high, yeah they snap like toothpicks.
Great video, I love all the colors in the rock . It's hard to believe the men crawled and chipped ALL those areas out. Hey try using a white light with the hd camera, might catch more of the colors. Have a good one, be safe.
Stunning mine. Video is phenomenal
Where about is this old coal mine in Pennsylvania? We are in southwest PA and have never come across one in this great of condition. Some of the smaller ones we visited when I was young are long gone, still two in the area that were holding up the last we visited them. Would love to give this one a peak sometime.
I can't give out specifics. But honestly they're everywhere in northeast PA. We do have actual mine tours also
Beautiful Workings Brother 😊
for a moment there I thought one of my aquariums had started a leak lol....my surround system messing with me, it's just the mine. I can tell you if I wanted to explore a mine that bad, it definitely would not be on a tour. I'm content to live vicariously through others for now.
Thanks
Video quality looks great to me. 👍🏻
perfect ! Great video
9:09💪
She's a beauty
This is so awesome.
ULTRA HD woop whoop 🙌
Hope the foot is doing better bro.. thanks for upload
very very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After watching all your stuff, I have to wonder why they don't still mine. Even if it is on a small scale.
Hey I know this from the tigers den video. I was actually just over in that area today looking for anything new. Still don’t know where this one is though.
Nice mine that would be claustrophobic AF
the reason that those cement blocks are there is to direct the air to the working face!!!!!!!!
Any idea how old it is? How long it was mined??
I believe it was most likely mined between the 1930s to the late 1940s
whats with the audio at the start? sounds like youre in a cave or something...
Mine tunnels are "cave like" in a sense. Its basically all just carved out rock until reaching the workings
